I would be SO insulted if my chapter closed, granted alum status, then I was told I couldnt wear my letters so people wouldn't confuse me with the "new" sisters... I find it distasteful to re-colonize so soon.

Not entirely true you know. We decided to close our chapter at Rutgers because we felt the members were not following the rules and treating the house with respect. So we threw them out and restarted last spring, only 2 years after kicking them out. Sure there are some members floating around, but we do not let them get involved with the new chapter without our permission. Recolonization periods depend on the control and efforts of the entire group. It might be easier to wait until all remenants of that past are gone, but it is very simple to restart sooner.
